Two menu application resets will be required, one to connect to the Frame and another to
register the menu application IP with that Frame:
1 Select Eng Setup , Node Settings , Frame Suites Nodes & ID in the GV switcher menu.
2 Select the Frame IP Address data pad and enter the Frame’s IP Address in the pop-up
keypad and select Enter .
Result: A Restart menu dialog box will appear.
3 You can either select Restart Now to restart the menu application or select Cancel ,
make changes to the Image Store IP Address and Track DPOPs from Panel IP, and then

About Network Configuration
Grass Valley recommends putting Switcher systems on an isolated internal network with
direct connections from the Control Panels and menu application to the Video Processor’s
internal Ethernet switch.
IP Address Background Information
Each device connected to any Ethernet network must have a unique IP address. An IP
address has two components: the network address and the node address. The Subnet mask
defines the dividing line between the two. The first three octets of Subnet mask provide the
network address; the fourth is the node address. Nodes with the same network address can
communicate directly with each other, while nodes with different network addresses
normally do not communicate directly.
The switcher system uses Ethernet switches built into the Video Processor Frame. The
switch provides isolation between port pairs, providing deterministic communication for
panel and frame messaging, and also allows Control Panel and Menu Panel communication
for DPOPs. All nodes must also have the same network and be given a different node
address.
CAUTION: Grass Valley does not recommend putting Switcher
systems on a domain which could expose the control LAN
to a WAN or the Internet.
